Offensive Skills and Production
First, let us examine Arron Afflalo’s traditional offensive statistics. Last season, Afflalo played for the New York Knicks and earned 33.4 minutes per game. In those hefty minutes, he produced 1.3 3’s, 0.3 offensive rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.2 turnovers, and 12.8 points per game on 44.3% from the field and 84.0% from the line.
For his career, he averages 28.7 minutes per game, while producing 1.2 3’s, 0.5 offensive boards, 2.0 assists, 1.2 turnovers, and 11.6 points on 45.2% from the field and 82.0% from the free throw line.
My colleague Rafe Wong wrote a great piece examining Mister Afflalo’s shot selection and where he takes his best shot from on the court. It can be found here if you care to read more about that topic.
I just want to mention a few final notes about Arron Afflalo’s offensive game. He is a career 38.5% shooter from beyond the 3 point line. If you look at just corner 3 pointers, he shoots 42.4% for his career, but only takes 44.3% of his 3 point shots from the corner. He fills a big need for the Kings in 3 point production and efficiency. He can, also, create a little offense and has the experience to jell into any offensive system. Overall, he is a great 3 point shooter and solid offensive contributor.
